## AI overview

Carvana moved its fragmented design system from a PDF-based UI kit, Principle, and Sketch to Figma to create a centralized source of truth for design and engineering. The transition improved handoffs and helped the company maintain consistency and design quality during rapid growth. Figma variables later helped standardize properties such as spacing and corner radii.
